Renault Kwid vs Hyundai Grand i10 Comparison

Kwid vs Grand i10 Comparison

Overall the Kwid offers far more features & boot-space than the Grand i10 diesel for identical Total Cost of Ownership, but loses out on drivability, quality and after sales service, giving the diesel powered Grand i10 a slight edge over the Kwid. Compared to the petrol powered Grand i10, Kwid works out to be a whopping 1.4 Lakh rupees cheaper in terms of Total Cost of Ownership and yet has way more features, bigger boot, equally good dynamics and only slightly worse performance than the Grand i10, giving it an edge over the petrol powered Grand i10.Pricing & Features: Kwid’s top-of-the-line RxT (O) variant retails for 3.53 Lakh, ex-showroom Delhi, which seems like a attractive alternative for customers intending to buy the base variant of the Grand i10. The Kwid RxT (O) is still an eye-watering 1.16 lakh cheaper than the Grand i10 Era Petrol, which retails for 4.69 Lakh (Grand i10 Era Diesel – 5.55 Lakh). In spite of being cheaper, the Kwid also has way more features than the Grand i10 which are worth at least 40,000 Rs.

Space & Comfort: In spite of being smaller on the outside, the Kwid has better space than the Grand i10 on the inside. Both cars are meant for carrying 4 people only, but it is easier to squeeze in a fifth passenger in the Kwid than the Grand i10. Kwid also has more space in the boot than the Grand i10, with 300 litres of room compared to Grand i10 256 litres. Grand i10 retaliates with a more luxurious and cheerful cabin compared to Kwid’s dull grey expanse of interior plastics.

Reliability and After Sales Service: Hyundai has a proven track record of providing trouble-free After Sales Service in our country whereas Renault is still trying hard to train and control the service quality of its dealers. Product reliability of both Hyundai cars and Renault cars based on Nissan platforms (Pulse & Scala, not Duster & Lodgy) has been satisfactory. Therefore Grand i10 is bound to hold slightly better resale value than Kwid.

Verdict: Overall the Kwid offers far more features & boot-space than the Grand i10 diesel for identical Total Cost of Ownership, but loses out on drivability, quality and after sales service, giving the diesel powered Grand i10 a slight edge over the Kwid. Compared to the petrol powered Grand i10, Kwid works out to be a whopping 1.4 Lakh rupees cheaper in terms of Total Cost of Ownership and yet has way more features, bigger boot, equally good dynamics and only slightly worse performance than the Grand i10, giving it an edge over the Hyundai.
